“Opening Day” is big in base-ball and fishing – and for the San Juan County Council as well.

A proposal by Interim County Manager Bob Jean for a series of “community con-versations” about future bud-gets and taxes highlights the first day’s schedule, which also includes empanelment of the new council and consideration of how to pick a county man-ager to replace Pete Rose, the prior county administrator.

After a formal swearing-in for Rick Hughes of Orcas Island and Bob Jarman and Marc Forlenza of San Juan Island, all of whom are announced candidates for the three-person council, the present council will elect a council chair. Tradition suggests Jaimie Stephens, the present vice chairman, will get the nod, leaving the vice chair-man slot to Rich Peterson, the third holdover, along with Patty Miller, from the 2012 council.

Full tuition scholarships for a three-day course in sup-ply chain management are

available from the San Juan Economic Development Council under a grant

recently announced by the Rural Business Enterprise program of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

The grant covers tuition, worth about $400, for Island, San Juan and Skagit county residents to attend a workshop covering manu-facturing business models, planning, production and inventory management, forecasting, distribution, and more.

The course will be taught by Hank Barr, a certified production and inventory management specialist, with over 40 years of inven-tory and logistics manage-ment experience, includ-ing accounting, budgeting, material requirements and logistics support planning.

Retired from the Air Force, Barr has taught courses for Tektronix, Starbucks, Amazon and the Port of Seattle. He is an advisor and lecturer for the University of Washington’s purchasing management extension program.

The San Juan, Island and Skagit county EDCs are accepting applications until Jan. 21 for the train-ing scholarships from resi-dents of those three coun-ties. A $25 application fee is required. The work-shops will be Feb. 11-13, in Anacortes.

Will 2013 be a better year

than 2012?

By steve WehrlyJournal reporter

Jim Schuman decided in 2010 that he wanted someone else to answer complaints about the high price of fuel on San Juan Islands.

He didn’t have to look far. In fact, Schuman, then-owner of Island Petroleum Services, hired Adam Eltinge two years ago to take over some of the Schuman’s management responsibilities, and worked out a transition which resulted in Eltinge buying IPS in late 2012.

Eltinge has heard islander com-plaints about high fuel prices, but points to the high transport costs (die-sel can be carried on the ferries, gas must be brought on the landing barge Henry Island) and the lower sales vol-umes as the reason for the prices. He’s more upset, however, about the future unavailability of ethanol-free fuel in Washington.

“It is a real shame that lawmakers put our residents in the position of not

having ethanol-free fuel as an option,” Eltinge said. “All of those people who own older cars, small engines, and marine vessels are going to suffer the repair costs or a higher potential for breakdown.”

IPS has long been a supplier of fuel for cars and boats on San Juan Island, managing facilities on Carter Avenue and at the Friday Harbor fuel dock. They transport gas, diesel and home heating oil to their San Juan Island facilities, to Island Hardware on Orcas, and to Roche Harbor’s gas station and fuel dock.

The Carter Avenue location carries a wide variety of products — three grades of gasoline, three types of die-

sel (on-road, off-road and 20 percent biodiesel) ethanol-free gas (at least for another month or two), kerosene, heating oil, and a full line of Chevron oils, lubes and greases. One of the 24-hour gasoline pumps takes cash, and all the pumps give discounts for cash, debit and Shell card purchases.

Eltinge, 38, was born and grew up on Fox Island, and attended Gig Harbor High School. He attended Washington State University, where he majored in business and con-struction management, and worked for eight years for a residential real estate developer in the Redmond and Woodinville areas.

Eltinge is a regular racquetball play-er, relishing opportunities to take on local competition, like David Morton and former sheriff Bill Cumming.

His wife, Deanna Sundstrom Eltinge, who works for the Port of Friday Harbor, made returning to her San Juan Island roots one of the condi-tions for marrying him, a condition Adam was happy to make happen when they brought their two teenagers to the island and to the family farm in 2009. In 2010, Eltinge was hired as project manager for the Brickworks renovation, a position he relinquished when he went to work at IPS.

Boaters calling at San Juan Island National Historical Park’s English Camp next summer will step onto a new era when they tie up at the park’s new dinghy dock on Garrison Bay.

The 115-foot long pier, with a 40-foot perpendicular float at the end, was completed Dec. 21 by A1 Marine Services of Friday Harbor, sub-contracting for R.H.D. Enterprises of Tacoma, fabricator of the pier and float fabricator. The project also included new safety railings for the steep stone stairway leading from the pier to the park’s Bell Point trail, north of the parade ground.

“This is the culmination of years of planning and engi-neering by National Park Service and contract designers and engineers,” park maintenance foreman Ken Arzarian said. “The result is a solid, safe structure that, because of its steel grating surface, will have a minimal impact on the marine environment, particularly eel grass, which has become a threatened species on the bay in recent years.”

English Camp is one of two units in the park that com-memorates the peaceful resolution of the final chapter in the Northwest Boundary dispute between the United States and Great Britain. Military forces from both nations jointly occupied the island for more than 12 years without incident.

English Camp was held by the British Royal Marines, American Camp by the U.S. Army.

In the spirit of the peace-ful joint occupation, the first dock was installed for park visitors arriving by vessel with money donated by International Yachting Fellowship of Rotarians of Victoria, B.C., Canada.

The dock was dedicated in

1986 to coincide with the 20th anniversary of the park. Since then, the park has become a destination anchorage

for hundreds of visiting boaters over the summer months, as well as for islanders dropping crab pots or seeking a quiet spot to enjoy nature.

But daily use was limited over the years because the float would bottom out at low tide. This not only damaged the structure over time but had a negative impact on the eel grass and underwater cultural resources.

The eight piles that support the pier were driven 20 feet below the bay floor, six of them into bed rock that required extensive drilling when project was launched Dec. 3.

Final planning for the project began in May 2011, when the park received the go-ahead to proceed with replacement of the 140-foot floating dock, originally installed in 1984.

Extensive maintenance was performed on the dock over the years — the ramp from shore to float was replaced in 2008 — but rusting fittings, rotting wood and deteriorating floats spurred to park to seek funds for replacement.

Park Superintendent Lee Taylor said that great care was taken to ensure that no archaeological resources were affected, and that shoreline health was not compromised during the construction process.

for sure,” said Drew, a Friday Harbor High School graduate, now 30. “But she’s sleeping through the night. I think she’s got the better parts of both of us.”

With Lorraine’s arrival on the second day of January, the Eastman/Drew family is this year’s winner of the annual Journal Baby Derby, an honor bestowed upon the first baby born to San Juan County parents each new year.

As Derby winner, the fam-

ily will receive what is more commonly known as the “Baby Booty”, which con-sists of more than $500 in gifts, prizes and age-appro-priate packages donated by 20 separate businesses, mer-chants and local retailers.

Becoming parents of a baby girl is just one of sev-eral new chapters for the Eastman/Drew family.

The couple recently built a home in Friday Harbor’s Country Village Estates, one of the 30 so-called “sweat equity” homes featured in the neighborhood, a col-lection of affordable homes with financing, construc-

tion and technical assis-tance provided by Homes for Islanders.

With Lorraine in the mix, the Eastman/Drew home and family now includes six.

series of distinctive but unfamiliar shrieks pierced the quiet of Cape San Juan that day.

“It sounded so different than a normal eagle cry,” Farron said. “I realized that it had to be a cry of distress.”

Sure enough, with help and assistance of the property owner next door, she discovered a pair bald eagles wedged and trapped between a heavy thicket of shrubs and a very large set of boulders, their talons locked together tightly.

Instinctively, they called Wolf Hollow. Shona Aiken, education coordinator of the wildlife reha-

bilitation center, said it’s not uncommon for bald eagles, whether in a mating ritual or territorial dispute, to lock talons in the air. She said that it was evident at the scene, however, that there was no love lost between the two birds.

“This was more of a fight,” she said.One of the birds broke free and flew off while the rescue

was under way. The other suffered an injury to its leg that left the lower limb “dangling” by its side and effectively use-less. Aiken said the animal would have had “zero” chance of capturing or holding onto prey in the wild given the extent of the injury. Fortunately, x-rays showed no broken bones.

After two months of intensive care, treatment and rehab, the bald eagle, the 16th treated at Wolf Hollow in 2012, was back in top-flight form, cleared for takeoff and headed back into the wild.

Only two of the 16 bald eagle patients cared for in 2012 are still undergoing treatment. Coincidentally, those two were also found with their talons locked, screaming and thrash-ing around in the woods near San Juan Island’s Carter Beach Road. Each is recuperating from wing and foot injuries.

eagle: Continued from page 1 Celebration for Dodie Post Gann, Jan. 19, at fairgrounds

Friends of Dodie Post Gann will get together Saturday, Jan. 19, for a celebration at the Marie Boe Building at the fairgrounds in Friday Harbor.

The celebration, an informal gathering of friends and family (initially scheduled at the airport), is 2-4 p.m.

Post Gann died Dec. 24, on Christmas Eve, at the age of 90. In the event of inclement weather, the celebration will take place inside the main exhibit at the fairgrounds, 846 Argyle Avenue.

to replace former council-man Richard Fralick as the county’s representative on the Puget Sound Salmon Recovery Council. The county Marine Resources Committee has already rec-ommended Stephens’ nomi-nation.

Options for recruitment of a permanent county manager will be discussed, and the council may decide to move ahead with hiring a consultant to conduct the employment search for Pete Rose’s replacement.

Two recruitment com-panies, Prothman of Issaquah and Bob Murray & Associates of Roseville, Calif., have submitted pro-posals for the search, which is expected to cost about $25,000.

Councilman Rich Peterson thinks that hiring a consultant “makes sense,” especially because use of a consultant in the hiring of both the interim county manager, Jean, and direc-tor of Public Works, Frank Mulcahy, “has worked out very well for the county.”

Before the search gets serious, however, the coun-cil must draft a job descrip-tion for the new position, which the Charter Revision Commission successfully presented to the voters in November as a replace-ment for the “independent” county administrator pro-vided for in the original Home Rule Charter passed in 2005.

Interim county manager Bob Jean suggested in a memo to the council that May 13 should be the target date for selecting a man-ager. That would mean the new three-person council would select the manager

shortly after results of the April election are certified and a new 3-person council sworn in.

Jean’s proposal for a series of community meetings in 2013 was warmly received at 2012 council meetings, and his latest memo outlin-ing a budget and agendas for the meetings will be up for early approval by the council.

In a Dec. 18 memo, Jean laid out his reasoning: “It is time to engage the broader community in a full discus-sion about the essential role of county government, its services and service deliv-ery, and our economic and fiscal sustainability.”

The challenges that need to be addressed, accord-ing to Jean, are the “Great Recession”-induced budget and staffing cuts, future fis-cal challenges as the reces-sion recedes, ongoing envi-ronmental, planning, health care and transportation bud-get planning, and transition to new governance models after the recent changes to the county charter.

The council supported the concept last year, and Patty Miller, Stephens and Peterson are expected to continue their support. Miller said the meetings were a good idea.

“The bottom line is we are dealing with the taxpay-ers’ money,” she said. “Are we focusing the money on the services and priorities that the citizens want?”

Peterson believes the meetings will be “worth the effort,” but “only if a broad cross section of the com-munity gets involved.”

Both Miller and Peterson mentioned that the possibil-ity of a 2016 levy lift ballot issue was one matter need-ing to be discussed.

Priorities:Continued from page 1

League hosts candidate forumsThe local League of Women Voters will sponsor three can-

didate forums, on San Juan, Orcas and Lopez islands, prior to the Feb. 12 county council primary election.

The forums, which will feature candidates competing in the District 1 (San Juan) and District 2 (Orcas) primary races, begin Monday, Jan. 14, on San Juan, at Friday Harbor Middle School, 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. The forum on Orcas is Jan. 16, at the Senior Center, 5-7 p.m., and Grace Episcopal Church on Lopez, Jan. 17, 5-7 p.m.

Peter W. Sturdivant, 84, of Anacortes, passed peace-fully on Dec. 19, 2012 in Bellevue, Wash.

Peter was born on April 15, 1928, in Klamath Falls, Ore., to Virginia Greene and Tallentyre Basil Sturdivant. Peter and his siblings, Tal and Mary Helene, grew up in southern California and Mexico.

Peter attended Deerfield Academy before serving in the U.S. Army, in Germany. After his return from ser-vice, Peter earned a degree in finance and worked for a time in Mexico and South America.

He went on to raise his own family and survived his wife Eila Sturdivant’s pass-ing in 1984.

Following Eila’s death, family brought Peter to the Pacific Northwest, where he became involved with the American Legion Club and started his own business in Friday Harbor.

He later married Friday Harbor resident Moselle

Bourne and enjoyed the island lifestyle with friends and family for over a decade until they moved to Anacortes. Peter survived Moselle’s passing last year.

Peter was interested in aviation, computer technol-ogy, politics, finance, music, and sailing. He has also been involved with stage performance and choir.

Peter also enjoyed travel-ing and camping, and was happiest when surrounded by family, friends, wine, and song.

He famously excelled at telling bad puns — dearly

appreciated by all who loved him.

Peter is survived by his brother, Tal, in Friday Harbor, his sister Mary Helene Halsey, in Illinois, and his son and family in Bellevue.

A celebration of Peter’s life with close friends and family will take place on Jan. 12, 2013 at noon.

In the early morning hours of Dec. 10, when the tide was low, Chris slipped his moorings and sailed away… over the unknown shore greeted by friends and fam-ily who sailed away before.

Chris was born on Sept. 2, 1971 in Dallas, Texas, to Norman and Patricia Schutza. He grew up in Dallas, and attended school there.

At the age of 21, he set sail on a new journey and landed in Friday Harbor, where he met his wife of 17 years, Holly Mason Schutza, and raised a family. Chris was a man of many talents. He worked in the grocery business for years, then moved on to construction; he was an artist, tattooist, musician, and writer, but what he cherished most was his quiet, private family life.

Chris was blessed with five beautiful, tal-ented, unique children, and he was always so proud. Chris was well known for his

fun, crazy humor, gen-tle spirit, kind heart; he was a true gentle-man. He will be greatly missed by all those that he touched.

Chris is survived by his wife, Holly Mason Schutza, of Friday Harbor; sons Jonathon Schutza of

Seattle, Kristopher Mason of Friday Harbor, London Schutza of Friday Harbor, daugh-ters Chloe and Phoebe Schutza of Friday Harbor, brother J.J. and Heather of Mount Vernon, mother Patricia Schutza and father Norman Schutza of Dallas, Texas.

His “Celebration of Life” was held at Paideia School, on Jan. 6, 2013, followed by a reception.

Cutbacks by WSF ignore its mission

In its relentless search for ways to reduce costs, Washington State Ferries has found a new way to reduce crew complements on some of its vessels: limit the num-ber of passengers that will be carried. (And here I thought WSF’s mission was to carry customers.)

I wonder whether they’ve thought this idea all the way through: Ferries could further constrain passen-gers on its boats by carry-ing no one, place a similar limitation on vehicles, and thus eliminate all its crew members and save even more.

Rights, privilegenot the same

As a licensed school psy-chologist and clinical mental health professional in two states, I read with amuse-ment the recent article in the Journal (“Priorities Misplaced in Background Checks”, Dec. 26, pg.7) authored by a local man seeking to be recognized as an attorney in Washington via admis-sion to the Washington Bar Association. I must say, “Brother, I feel your pain!”

Mr. Power is incredulous regarding the requirement of references and fees for a background investiga-

tion process, which to the Washington Bar Association somehow provides an assur-ance of competence and public safety in the practice of law. The Washington Bar Association and Mr. Power are struggling to accom-modate and understand the similarities and differences between a privilege and a right.

First, the concept that a background check for pos-session of a firearm is much less cumbersome and expe-dient from that of a license to practice law in this state is based on the fact that the privilege of practicing law is not a constitutionally pro-tected right (thank God). That important fact is very significant.

Competency in profes-sional or occupation prac-tices regulated by state law is purposefully cumber-some and designed to be so whether you are a plumber, psychologist, physician or lawyer. Occupational licens-ing is not a right — it is a privilege granted by the state.

A right is something we already possess — a privi-lege is something granted us by another. As such, the sanctioning by proper authority of citizens to exer-cise rights and privileges will differ.

The process and costs to Mr. Power in pursuit of his license to practice law and the background check con-ducted when he purchased his gun are both designed for a similar purpose — to provide some assurance to the public that the person practicing law or possessing a firearm is forever safe to do so under both circum-stances. Sadly and clearly, neither accomplishes that goal.

The Second Amendment

is the only constitutional right requiring a back-ground check and waiting period (in some situations) in order to exercise in the name of national public safety.

Likewise, I would not expect the Washington Bar Association to do less.

Better choice lies in private sector

The upcoming council election has candidates from each district who give voters a welcome alternative to the prior council’s approach to governing.

Brian McClerren from Lopez, Bob Jarman and Marc Forlenza from San Juan and Rick Hughes, Greg Ayers and Lisa Byers from Orcas Island were not part of the prior council that imposed the mind-numbing Critical Areas Ordinance on the citizens of the county.

Except for Lisa Byers, whose career has been with government funded non-profits, all the candidates listed above have recent pri-vate sector experience.

Despite the council/char-ter elections being non-partisan, the progressive liberal wing of the San Juan County Democrat Party is supporting candidates Lisa Byers, Lovel Pratt and Jamie Stephens.

Greg Ayers and Rick Hughes, Marc Forlenza and Bob Jarman and Brian McClerren are keeping faith with the non-partisan pro-vision of the SJC charter. Theirs is a principled but difficult stand to take when facing candidates benefit-ing from the money and momentum that party poli-

tics generates.There is a choice to

make. Past council mem-bers Jamie Stephens and Lovel Pratt never saw an off-island grant-funded program they didn’t like. With their approval, our county government ended up with staff, funding and/or agendas from power-ful off-island organizations including the Puget Sound Partnership, Northwest Straits, Salmon Recovery, Tribes and the Department of Ecology. These groups are directly funding pro-grams for Eco-Net, the Friends and the SJC Marine Resources Committee who, in turn, vigorously support the off-island agendas to the council and planning staff.

With this outside influ-ence, the prior council voted consistently for exten-sive new restrictions on the public, has re-written our Comprehensive Plan and ignored the balance required by Growth Management Act for land-use planning.

The impact on local busi-nesses, working families, property owners and our

fragile local economy has been largely ignored.

Voters have the oppor-tunity to choose and sup-port the non-partisan can-didates; candidates who understand that a council member’s job is to direct and manage county govern-ment, not direct and man-age the citizens of San Juan County.

Pratt provides proven leadership

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Lovel Pratt on county, state and national issues and she has repeat-edly proven herself to be an effective and energetic leader.

Lovel has both the skills and temperament to lead San Juan County through these difficult and often

contentious times. I appreciate the fiscally

responsible approach with which Lovel has addressed the county budget process and she has certainly been a strong advocate for pro-tecting our islands against possible oil spills and rec-ognizing the importance of continued viable farming in our county.

But most important, Lovel has demonstrated that she listens and is considerate of all perspectives before mak-ing decisions. Please join me in voting for Lovel Pratt for county council, District 1.

Editorial

Take the timeOne of the sad things about the recent

demise of Dodie Post Gann was that many, perhaps most, of us never had the

chance to know her or talk with her.Sure, we knew she was Ernest K.’s wife, and

some knew that Ernie Gann’s wife was accom-plished as a pilot, Olympic athlete, animal rights advocate, fond of history and an environmental-ist as well.

But not many of us knew she was a great com-municator, a talker who could tell you stories about her youth and her life that you could mar-vel at and learn from. And she’s not the only one.

We would have loved to hear Else Gabriel tell about her youthful flight from pre-war Nazi Germany to Kenya, then Uganda, Palestine, and Cyprus. According to her daughter, sometimes you didn’t want to hear it any more, but she listened and we should too, if given the opportu-nity.

Our islands are becoming a haven for a lot of people like Dodie Gann and Else Gabriel. People who have exceeded “normal life expectancy,” but who can still inspire us, educate us, even thrill us with stories of their lives, of people they knew, of defeats they suffered and victories they achieved.

Most old people like to talk. Of course, some of them don’t want to talk, with you or anyone else. Some of them can’t, because of infirmity or impairment or just contrariness.

And some of them may simply agree with Satchel Paige, who advised, “Don’t look back. Something may be gaining on you.”

But that shouldn’t stop you from honoring them with a kind word, and if possible, engag-ing them in conversation about . . . well, about almost anything. Not necessarily for their ben-efit, but for yours.

It’s January now, and many of us are look-ing ahead — some with anticipation, some with dread. But we can’t let people like Dodie Gann and Else Gabriel leave us without remembering them, and, hopefully before they die, without let-ting them remember — and tell us.

In the end, hopefully for the good that one does, sometimes for the bad, we have to think, like Linda in Death of a Salesman speaking of Willie Loman, “Attention, attention must finally be paid to such a person.

San Juan County Ferry Advisory chairman Jim Corenman issued the following statement late last week concerning staffing changes on state ferries and their effect on passenger capacity and the availability of ferry service:

By Jim Corenman

As many are aware, there have been recent changes to the number of crew required to staff some of the ferries, which have increased operating costs.

The latest chapter involves a provision by the U.S. Coast Guard which allows alternate staffing levels for the Super class ferries (Elwha, Hyak, Kaleetan and Yakima), by reduc-ing one deck crew if the upper passenger (galley) deck is closed and passengers are limited to 450, and by two deck-crew if limited to 300.

During the winter season, when the galleys are closed and passenger loads are light, this is a viable option for some routes to save some badly needed operating funds. Where things got off track is that ferries viewed this as an operational change that would be “invisible” to the public with no service impacts.

While that is certainly the goal, reducing passenger capacity always has the potential to reduce service, and the FAC believes that discussion was needed. We had a constructive conversation with George Capacci (deputy chief for operations and construction) and Ray Deardorf

(planning director). Ferries agreed that the FAC should be in the loop on this

issue, and provided detailed information on the planned crew changes.

The plan for the San Juan routes is to close the upper passenger deck and reduce the crew complement by one on the Super class vessels (limiting passengers to 450), only for days when the passenger load is expected to be very light, and only for the winter schedule when the galley is normally closed. For Fridays, Sundays and holidays, or for any special events days, the boats will be fully crewed with the normal passenger capacity of 1,782. For the days when a reduced capacity is planned, historical passenger loads never exceeded 300, so the limit of 450 provides a reason-able margin.

Ferries have shared passenger data with the FAC and we agree that the likelihood of a passenger overload is extremely low. The savings are modest but even small sav-ings add up, and we feel that this is a good opportunity for ferries to reduce costs.

This doesn’t solve the ferries budget issues of course, and we again urge the legislature to establish a dedicated, stable funding source for ferries.

Guest Column

WSF: a reasoned move to cut costs

board members at the Portland Fair development.

We’ve worked on many projects and the Bob Jarman I know is motivated by the ideals that have been our nation’s legacy: hard work, perseverance, lending a helping hand and bringing a smile to brighten some-one’s day.

He is well respected in the community and stud-ies problems seriously. Bob looks for solutions in a non-partisan way, considering other opinions. He has fresh perspectives and can learn quickly.

I encourage my island neighbors to attend a pub-lic council meeting and see how well Bob will represent you. By the February pri-mary, you’ll be able to make an informed vote. Mine will be for Bob Jarman.

Backing Byers in Orcas council race

For the past six-and-a-half years, I have served on the board of OPAL Community Land Trust, the organiza-tion for which Lisa Byers has been executive director for 17 years.

Based on those years of working with Lisa, I enthu-siastically urge you to vote for her for county council. Frankly, we will miss her at OPAL, but she is so remark-ably good that the whole

county deserves her. Here are my reasons:

First, Lisa is — hands down — the most com-petent person I have ever worked with, or for. She is thorough, works quickly but accurately, and has a gift for numbers (including budgets) and for making complex issues clear.

She is always thoroughly prepared for any meet-ing, always comes ready to provide more background information should it be needed, and follows up with all decisions or ques-tions immediately and completely. She is also remarkably creative in finding novel solutions to complex problems.

If this sounds like an impossibly positive set of qualities, I can only assure you that this written descrip-tion is less impressive than the actuality.

Second, Lisa is a terrific listener. If you disagree with her, she doesn’t get defen-sive or insist on her own position; she hears you out, searches for points of agree-ment, asks good questions, and finds a way to reach consensus.

Third, Lisa Byers has a deep and enduring commit-ment to the health of our community. As evidence of that commitment, she has participated in — and often chaired — innumerable committees and forums on Orcas and throughout the county.

She understands the county’s strengths and weaknesses, and because

of her broad involvement, she has a wide network of county residents on whom she can call for answers to questions or for assistance.

San Juan County has a full array of tough problems to be solved. Lisa Byers is, above all, a supremely good problem solver. She will be a wonderful county coun-cilperson.

Vote Forlenza he’ll manage well

There is an old truism that; “Ineffective people can make a great organization structure fail, and converse-ly, good people can make a bad structure work”.

This saying is particular-ly pertinent in our county today since we have been dealt an abominable struc-ture with its three council members simultaneously directing county operations and one largely impotent “manager” standing by to do their will with no separa-tion of powers.

In this next primary election we better elect at least one individual with some proven experience in administration and man-agement or we are going to have a re-run of the decades past. The person that comes immediately to mind for me is Mark Forlenza, who has great management creden-tials. Marc has strong drive, proven accomplishment, and experience that will allow him to navigate in a fundamentally dysfunction-

al governance structure.Do not fool yourself that

the so-called manager in the surviving charter will solve the issue. I wish the county well in their efforts to hire a strong person; I’ll be amazed, however, if they find such a person who will even consider that position with its clearly deemphasized description. Moreover, if he or she shows some indepen-dent gumption, it takes only two council members to fire them. Not the place for a strong independent thinker, and potential applicants will know it.

Marc’s background includes strong experience in business and manage-ment along with excep-tional work in volunteer efforts that make life better for other people without a self-serving approach. His energy and determination to be a highly effective council member will serve all of us well in the coming months.

Please join me in re-elect-ing Marc Forlenza.

Byers brings balanced view

It is very clear to me why I am supporting Lisa Byers for county council position No. 2 (Orcas).

Director of OPAL for years, she has navigated the complex waters of bureau-cracies and personalities in order to achieve a stable, thriving community based organization. In addition,

Jean Dee Hutchins went home to be with the Lord peacefully on Dec. 26, 2012.

He was born June 26, 1932 to Dovie Mae Cash Hutchins and Elam Roferlson Hutchins in Pampa, Texas. He went to high school in Port Aransas until he had to drop out to help sup-port his family.

He shipped out to sea on his first tanker as a wiper in 1948. He joined the Army in 1950 and served 18 months until a bomb exploded close to him and blew out his ear drums. He went back to the sea and worked his way up license by license, on the engi-neering side of merchant marine ships, until he was chief engineer.

He married his wife, Dolores, in 1955 in New Orleans, La., and their daughter, Pamela, was born there in 1956. He sailed around the world many times and served on 50 ships until he retired on Oct. 31, 1998. Along the way, he has called home; Aransas Pass, Texas, Rockport, Texas, Seattle, Wash., and Federal Way, Wash.

He and Dolores moved to Friday Harbor on June 2, 2009. He enjoyed church activities with the men at Islands Community Church, helping others, and doing Island things with his daughter, Pamela.

He is preceded in death by brothers E. R. Hutchins, Jr., Roy Wayne Hutchins, and Thomas Charles Hutchins. He is

also preceded in death by his sister, Dovie Mae Aldridge, his niece, Dorothy Daze, and his neph-ew, Donald Bright. He is survived by his wife, Dolores Hutchins, his

daughter, Pamela Hutchins, his nieces, Angela Hutchins and America Chavez, and his nephews, Thom Hutchins and Charlie Bright.

Graveside Services were held Jan. 5 at the San Juan Valley Cemetery, fol-lowed by a memorial service at Islands Community Church.

Jean Hutchins Martin Halvorsen: 1949 — 2012Martin Halvorsen, 63, of Friday Harbor, passed away in

Bellingham on Dec. 20, 2012. He was born in Friday Harbor, Wash. on May 11, 1949,

the son of Eldon and Carol (Grenier) Halvorsen. He grew up on San Juan Island and attended Friday Harbor schools, but moved with his family to the mainland when he was 16. He graduated from Sedro-Woolley High School in 1967.

Throughout his entire life he worked as a diesel mechanic and was known as the guy who could fix anything. He lived for many years in the Stanwood/Everett area and spent several summers working in Dutch Harbor, Alaska. He returned to Friday Harbor in 2002.

Marty enjoyed assembling model train sets and making scenery, etc., for them. He married twice, but had no chil-dren. He is survived by one sister, Gerine Voegtlin of Mount Vernon; one nephew, Scott DeRosier of Concrete; and sev-eral cousins. He was preceded in death by his parents and a nephew, Todd DeRosier.

The family would like to express deep appreciation to Tom Lawson and Dave De La Zerda for the friendship, care and support given to Marty the last few years of his life. Per Marty’s wishes, there will be no services. Memorials or donations may be given to your favorite charity. You may share your memories of Marty and sign his online guest register at www.kernfuneralhome.com Arrangements are under the care of Kern Funeral Home.

she is well known as a bal-anced facilitator, and prob-lem solver, both of which are talents we need in coun-ty government.

She is non-ideological and sees the complexities of governing our unique island situation as a challenge to be met, not as an insurmount-

able hurdle. On her website she speaks of our islands’ ” blend of independence and interdependence”, which to me reflects an understanding of who we are and what we need to continually achieve.

She will have my vote and my effort to help her get elected.

See CAlEnDAR, Page 11

If you’ve wondered what it must have been like to be Louis XIV, the “Sun King,” you can have a taste at the third annual Salish Sea Early

Music Festival, which can be experienced in Friday Harbor on Sunday, Jan. 13, at 7 p.m. at St. David’s Church, 760 Park Street in Friday Harbor .

By Scott RasmussenJournal editor

Fireman, clerk, business executive, waitress. Do you wonder some-times how others feel about the work they do?

Well, here’s your chance. The meaning of work will take center stage as the Friday Harbor High

School Drama Group tackles one of the more intriguing and thought-provok-ing stage production ever created about Americans and their attitude about the work that they do, in: “Working”, an adaptation by Stephen Schwartz and Nina Faso of Pulitzer Prize-winning author and radio broadcaster Studs Terkel’s groundbreaking 1974 non-fiction book, “Working: People Talk About What They Do All Day and How They Feel About What They Do”.

The shows opens Thursday, Jan. 17, at 7:30 p.m., at San Juan Community Theatre, followed by evening performances on Friday and Saturday, and a Sunday matinee, at 2 p.m.

Veteran director Jane Maxwell Campbell, leading the high school drama group since Fred Yocker’s departure two years ago, believes audi-ences are in for a treat. That’s because “Working” is not you’re typical high school type of production, but rather a montage of individual actors who share the spotlight while conveying the many thoughts, feelings and truth, and the essence, of the work that each of their character does.

“It’s a beautiful production with real people speaking real words about the work they do,” said Campbell, who previously directed the play while working at a California high school. “The kids love the writing and the language, and I think they really like the pathos of the characters and the

fact that these were real people.” All those qualities click for Nick Bey, who plays the role of a steel

worker who carries a bit of a chip on his shoulder. Bey, who originally intended to be part of the crew, rather than the cast, said the cast has come to embrace the format of the production, grounded in monologue instead of dialogue, after an initial shock.

“At first it was like, ‘What do you mean? We don’t talk to each other?’,” he said. “But the words have real depth to them and everyone gets a chance to shine.”

The production features a cast of 16 actors, a technical crew of nine, musical direction by Grace Willows and Greg Sadowsky on acoustic guitar. The show runs about one hour, followed by a meet-and-greet for audience and actors in the theatre lobby.

The SJCT box office is open 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., Tues-Fridays, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., Saturdays, and one hour prior to any performance; for more info, www.sjctheatre.org.

Aqua Zumba comes to San Juan Island

W a n n a dance? In a s w i m m i n g pool?

If so, Talia Loucks and San Juan Island Fitness want to sign you up for the water version of the popular Zumba fitness exercise dance, scheduled

for 11 a.m. on Tuesdays or Thursdays starting Jan. 29.

Talia Loucks, already teaching on-land Zumba classes at the club, was recently certified as an Aqua Zumba® instructor, and she will be conducting a demo class in the water on Thursday, Jan. 10, at 11 a.m. The demo is free for all; the regular classes are free to members and $10 for non-members.

According to Loucks, “this is a great way to get a very low impact, fun, cardio workout. It’s also the only facility offering this particu-lar class.” The Zumba® web-site describes the program as “an exhilarating, effec-tive, easy-to-follow, Latin-inspired, calorie-burning dance fitness-party.”

“We’re excited to offer another class in addition to our existing 30 weekly

classes” says Paul Hopkins, owner.

For more information or to sign up for the demo class, call San Juan Island Fitness at 378-8341 or visit them at 435 Argyle Ave.

‘Rise Like Lions’ kicks off film series

The Tragedy of the Commons Documentary Series, a new free series of thought provoking docu-mentary films, will be host-ed by Ken Crawbuck on the third Saturday evening of every month at the San Juan Island library.

On Saturday, Jan. 19, at 7 p.m., Scott Noble’s “Rise Like Lions” will be screened. The film explores the peo-ple, actions and words from the camps and streets of the Occupy Wall Street move-ment. It provides “a radi-cal, compelling, inspiring account of what the move-ment is about.”

Future performances feature the music of Handel, Corelli, CPE Bach and Telemann, among other baroque and classical composers, with per-formances by a number of local, national and international musicians.
